Samsung Electronics said on May 22 its accumulated output of compressors for refrigerators has reached 200 million since it first started making the products in 1976.
The figure translates into the company producing a compressor unit every three seconds, according to Samsung.
The company said it has been making continuous investments in compressors to maintain its efficiency and performance and reduce its size.
Samsung said its digital inverter compressor can save power by 35 percent compared to general models, claiming that around half of the refrigerators sold around the globe have adopted the compressor.
